Crousse, brilliant scarlet, a beautiful shaped bloom of unexcelled color; M. Martin Caluzac, very dark crimson, almost black; and Marguerite Girard, light flesh, very large. T. C. Thurlow's collection contained Due. de Wellington, cream white; Reine de Fleur, pink; Mme. Verneville, white tinged flesh; and Armandine Mechin, dark red. In Wm. Whitman's exhibit Madame Dupuy, large pink, and Plu- tarch, dark pink, were noticed. Geo. Hollis staged a collection of very hand- some seedlings, many of exceptiorial merit vieing with some of the best in- troductions of the European growers. The following were greatly admired and will no doubt find many ready buy- ers when placed upon the market. Beauty's Mark, shell pink ; Goliath, large dark pink; Loveliness, light pink; Lady White, pure white; Supreme, light flesh pink, large; Bunker Hill, very dark rose. The four vases of festiva max- ima filled one entire table, and although so well known, attracted the attention of all. The prizes for the large vases offered by the Massachusetts Horticul- tural Society brought out three superb exhibits, that of Dr. C. G. Wild, being exceptionally fine. The display of sin- gle Japanese peonies was large and in- teresting, yet it did not command the admiration the large blooms received. The Awards. Commercial Classes.
